NOVPUBQi Yan shook his head and said,
When ’Dao Secret’ was mentioned, a quiet sigh passed through his eyes.
He was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and only needed to realize the opportunity to comprehend the Dao before he could hope to glimpse the Realm of Immortal Ascension.
Unfortunately, he had been dawdling for a long time without any clues.
Even though his master had also pointed out many times, it ultimately wasn’t the path suited for him.
Wang Ba was also curious about this so-called Dao Secret.
However, Qi Yan quickly collected himself and changed the subject,
"This Hybrid White Tiger is severely injured, why not leave it here? After I cure it, you can take it back."
Wang Ba hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"No need to be polite, this is also a rare opportunity. I’ve never seen such bloodlines before, it’s just right for research," Qi Yan said frankly.
Beast Masters couldn’t resist the temptation of an unseen Spirit Beast.
Wang Ba could understand that.
After a moment of hesitation, he still took out the Spirit Beast Bag that contained Fu and placed it in front of Qi Yan.
With the Hybrid White Tiger as a base, Qi Yan had also prepared himself mentally.
However, the moment his Spiritual Sense probed into the Spirit Beast Bag handed over by Wang Ba, Qi Yan couldn’t help but stand up in astonishment.
His usual indifferent face was now filled with shock, perplexity, confusion, and puzzlement...
"This, this... If I’m not mistaken, could this really be..."
Wang Ba nodded, confirming the other’s guess,
"Uncle Master, this is indeed the offspring of the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard," he said.
He had thought about keeping it a secret, but after considering it, as long as he was in the Wanxiang Sect, Fu’s existence simply couldn’t be concealed.
So from the beginning, he had no intention to hide it.
Mainly because the bloodline of the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard was too complex. With the power of one person like Wang Ba, it was simply not possible to completely research it.
Instead of wasting this treasure, it was better to mine it together.
Moreover, it wasn’t as if he was benefiting an outsider.
But Qi Yan suddenly realized something and looked at Wang Ba with a serious and complicated look,
"How dare you bring this out?!"
Qi Yan had seen the research notes of past peak masters on the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard. He didn’t believe Wang Ba wasn’t aware of its value.
Yet Wang Ba still brought it out, which made Qi Yan feel extremely complex for a moment.
Wang Ba said calmly,
"Uncle Master has always been very kind to me, whether it’s the ’Bloodline Identification Skill’ or the Class IV beast essence blood of the Ghost-eyed Chi, Uncle Master gave them to me intentionally. Although the bloodline of the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard is precious, I’ve always felt that what is more valuable than bloodline is the human heart." 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
"What is more valuable than bloodline is the human heart?"
Hearing this, Qi Yan was deeply moved.
He couldn’t help but look at Wang Ba, finding him more and more to his liking.
For a time, the words that Elder Du Wei often muttered in his ear suddenly rushed into his mind, and he couldn’t help but say,
"Wang Ba, would you, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Wang Ba was stunned upon hearing this.
In the next moment, at the doorway, the crisp sound of a teacup clashing was heard.
Wang Ba instinctively looked over and saw Mo Qi, who was carrying tea, turn pale.
Seeing Wang Ba looking over, Mo Qi immediately turned away, stammering,
"I, I spilled the tea, I’ll go brew it again…"
Wang Ba watched Mo Qi leave with a disconcerted expression, and for some reason, he felt a sense of guilt.
He always felt as though he had taken something from the other.
But he quickly came back to his senses, still somewhat puzzled, "What did Uncle Master just say?"
Qi Yan had been impulsive, and seeing Wang Ba’s puzzled face, he became determined.
His gaze swept over Mo Qi leaving outside the room, and a sigh flashed in his eyes again.
He then turned his head, looked at Wang Ba, and said seriously,
"I won’t ask you about the origin of this beast. Since you have brought it out, you must have your thoughts. Let me hear them."
"Yes... Although I’ve reached Stage III of the ’Bloodline Identification Skill,’ I still can’t discern the advancement direction of this Stone Lizard, nor do I know how to nurture it next. So I was hoping to seek Uncle Master’s advice," replied Wang Ba.
Qi Yan pondered a bit and then spoke,
"I’ve never seen this beast either, and even past peak masters have no research experience with it."
"If you trust me, leave it with me. If I find any results, I will notify you immediately."
"Of course, in the process, I’ll take the opportunity to do my research. What do you think?"
Without any hesitation, Wang Ba nodded immediately.
He then briefly explained how Fu was influenced by the Primal Magnetic Power in the Eightfold Sea and the process of devouring the Coral Dragon.
Of course, that was all he mentioned.
The remnants of Yuchen’s flesh in Fu’s stomach had already been transferred by Wang Ba, so it wouldn’t affect anything.
"Then, disciple will take his leave first."
Having achieved his goal, Wang Ba then bid farewell.
But Qi Yan stopped him and picked out a book and a Jade Slip from a shelf in the room and handed them to Wang Ba,
"This is Beast Control Volume III. Now that you are a Golden Core Craftsman, you can slowly start dealing with Fourth-Order Spirit Beasts."
"The Beast Department has been busy lately. If you have any questions, you can go directly to the Beast Department to find me..."
"Thank you, Uncle Master."
"Mm, go on."
Watching Wang Ba leave,
Qi Yan pondered for a moment on the spot, then quickly flew out of Shou Peak with the two Spirit Beast Bags left by Wang Ba, heading straight for Taihe Palace.
A few breaths after he entered Taihe Palace,
In a side hall, the frustrated voice of Elder Du Wei echoed,
"What foolishness is this?!"
